When the founding publisher of Automation World magazine, David Harvey, passed away almost two years ago, his industry colleagues and co-workers wanted to find a way to honor him and his lifelong contributions to field he served for over three decades. That wish has been fulfilled with the establishment of the David A. Harvey Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship is intended to assist future generations of automation professionals with tuition assistance. Funding for this year’s scholarship comes from Automation World magazine, and the twelve sponsors of Automation World’s new event, The Automation Conference.
